Northern Virginia Roll Call

I'd give my left nut for a 1st gen tundra single cab long bed. For some reason, those just do it for me

 

I was in the back lot cutting up some downed trees
Then I went to borrow my neighbors tractor to level the burn pile.

 

Same! But I need it to have the manual trans because

 

Who's got a recommendation for rear leaf pack? I have the stock w/ AAL, but apparently that dosent like having a trailer too much and one of the leaves snapped on each end/ both sides

Side note: I dont carry a heavy load full time e.g. no RTT, armor, etc.
But do use the trailer frequently to haul wood and mowers.

 

Randy recommended the Icon RXT to me a while back, and it's been great since I put them on and threw out the Dakars.

Someone in a white 2nd gen with christmas lights and chrome bull bar has driven by almost every evening this last week

 

Yesterday there was a kid and (I assume) his Dad in a side by side just hanging out in the creek. Pretty cool.

I think I’ve seen that Taco, too, but maybe I’m thinking of a third gen. I know it’s white.

 

This makes 2 times i was told about the RXTs recently, and both were positive.
Thank you.

 

New year, new battery!

It's nothing fancy because my needs right now don't require anything fancy, but the old one was 5yrs old and wasn't having a fun time starting in 20° swva weather. Of course it's 70° in Mechanicsville today lol

 

First beer on the first day of the new year.



Cheers to you all!

 

Back at you, Bill! Happy New Year and cheers to all!

 

Anyone ever been up to snowshoe? I was there last week for the first time and was surprised at how crazy those roads were with the steep inclines, turns and declines for about 2 hours while approaching the place. Luckily it was warm but I plan on going back in a month or so when there could be a lot of ice and snow on these desolate mountain passes. I also need new tires and am trying to decide between putting blizzaks on the stock rims and getting a second set of wheels/tires for the spring/summer/fall or does anyone have a good all season they would be comfortable going up these types of roads in? TIA Happy New Year!

 

Well this could be interesting. It was 70° yesterday, now the weatherman is saying anywhere from 3-12" predicted tomorrow lol

 

That keeps climbing. My wife has to drive to Warrenton tomorrow. It looks like they're in double digits before noon. I hate Michigan snow storms.

 

Not good. Supposed to take my son to the airport for his flight back to Cali. He might just be getting an extra day or two of leave.

 

NBC says 2-4 for up around Dulles I believe and 4-6 for Fauquier and Culpeper but ainly on the grass

 

Dunes to snow within days, I enjoy the USA. Tiffany is hoping OPM closes NOVA down soon so she can have a vacation day for the vacation haha. Kinda ironic that we want them to close due to poor road conditions… just to go play in those poor conditions hah.

@CTtoNoVa, I’ve been in that area a few times on 2 wheels and with a serious snow storm I’m not sure any tire would help significantly. Maybe carry a set of chains instead of 2 wheel/tire combos? Might be cheaper and more effective.

 

Yeah, Man. Hope you all had a nice one. At least you’re gonna miss this mess of snow tonight into tomorrow.

 

thanks! So you see my concern haha. I have two little kids and those were some crazy roads if ever seen some and I grew up in New England. I would not want to get stuck there
